Obviously, after this post it’s unlikely you’ll need to consult with such documentation. The band meanwhile, is a 20mm standard watch style band – so you can swap it with whatever you fancy, be it Garmin or otherwise.Īnd finally, I’m sure the box will have some paper junk in there like a three line quick-start guide.
